As the natural progression of promotion in nursing, promotion to a Band 7 level is highly sought after in the field. If you are among a pool of highly qualified candidates for the Theatre Nurse role, your interviewer may pose this question to allow you to give your best sales pitch on yourself. This is the time for you to best match your qualifications, your experiences, and your overall interest in taking the Band 7 theatre job to the next level. As you answer, try to exude both confidence and humbleness to truly impress your interviewer.
"First and foremost, I've dedicated the last four years of my career to learning and training more on becoming a clinical team leader and developing skills to oversee the work of a dynamic team of theatre nurses. I've completed management training courses as you can see from the transcripts I've submitted and have taken advantage of development opportunities in my current role. For the last two years, I've been training new staff that join our team and I absolutely love being this positive role model. On top of this, I also have a lot of experience in the operating room. This includes first assisting during operations, which I know is a skill you are looking for in your next Band 7 theatre nurse."
